I worked with a client last year that was dealing with an ArcGIS issue - arcmap would lock up and crash when she added data. I suspected a network issue - IT said "that's the way GIS software does". Turned out her network card in the workstation was going bad....I think we checked in the Control Panel...somewhere...(I'm currently on a linux machine).

can you test the files locally move them to C: ?

The other layers are coming off the network? If it's been working fine something else has changed by the sounds of it.

    Thanks for the quick response Nathan,

    I'm not sure if you are familiar with Dial Before You Dig. When a
    request is made for information about the underground assets in a
    particular area, our council is one of the organisations that are
    asked to respond. That request is emailed to us and contains a
    .gml file with the specified location details.

    In order to speed up the processing at our end, I set up a project
    file that accepts this gml file, we zoom to the layer, align that
    with the canvas and produce the pdf file that goes back to the
    initial requestor.

    It worked fine for at least the last year. The layers in the
    project file are not large. The largest is 13Mb, the smallest is a
    few kilobytes. There are 17 layers in the project. I have had a
    request to put aerial imagery under the maps, but have resisted
    that because of the size of the images.

    What else do you need to know?

but IT tell me it is the nature of open source software.

    Good thing your IT is wrong then hey :P

    I also suspect network if the files are large it will pull the
    whole thing over the network before it can open it. GML also isn't
    the most efficient format in the world so take that into
    consideration.

    What other layers are in the project?  If you have lots of network
    layers it will try and read them when you load the new layer in
    order to refresh the map, remember each pan is going to read the
    files to get the data.

    We will need a bit more info on the project and files to help more.
